Ten-foot Reagan statue unveiled in London
Ronald Reagan got a rare honor on the other side of the pond on the Fourth of July.
A bronze statue of the 40th U.S. president was unveiled outside the U.S. embassy in London.
A crowd of admirers, mostly Americans, took their seats in one of London’s leafiest and most historic parks for the ceremony, reports CBS News Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer.
It came on the 100th anniversary of Reagan’s birth or, as Ronald Reagon Presidential Foundation Chairman Fred Ryan told the crowd, “as I think he would describe it, the 61st anniversary of his 39th birthday!”
The backdrop was festive Fourth of July pomp.
